Your privacy matters.
When you respond to the census, your answers are kept anonymous. They are used only to produce statistics.
The U.S. Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. The law ensures that your private information is never published and that your answers cannot be used against you by any government agency or court. Under law, breaking that oath has severe penalties, including a fine up to $250,000, five years in prison, or both.
The Census is charged with counting every single person in the U.S. and will NOT ask about your immigration status or if you are a U.S. citizen.
